There was another big crowd at the Olympic Club vesterday afternoon to see James Fitzgerald, the world's hampion handball player, contest | against Al Hampton and Henry Corey, two crack amateurs of the coast. The latter won from the champion by a series of lucky plays. They made Fitz run all over the court, and, although tired, he played them to a standstill.

After using mops and brooms on the tennis courts some of the more enthu- siastic members of the California Club managed to get in a few practice games yesterday afternoon. A lively doubles was played between Sidney Salisbury and Professor Craw- ford and Ray Splivalo and Ray Cornell. The former played together for the first time and made a strong combination, beating their opponents two sets out of three. Salisbury and Crawford did some fast net work and alsc drove well. The score was 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. Charles Kurlin, the rapidly improving third cifgs man, took a fall out of Chester *Smith, a second class man. Kurlin did not do well in the first set, getting but one game, but in the next two his clever chep stroke was too much for Smith. Kuehn used his usual good head work and his net work was accurate. The score was 1-6, 6-2, 6-4. Cornell showed to better advantage i in singles. He played a one-set match with his partner, Splivalo. The Belmont champion was rather tired and lost by a small margin. The score in Cornell's favor was 6-4. By far the closest and most exciting match was that between Robert Drolla and Harold Gabriel, the assistant court keepers. There is considerable rivalry between the two and the question of supremacy is one that both have been anxious to settle. Drolla proved his superiority in a thm--et match yes- terday. He won the briel played all aros ond, which he won third and deciding set wen! with Gabriel on the short winner had nothing to doubtful if he would have —tpmel"m.. 2 £ ©Oakland and California club mmm“m FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MARCH 7, 1904. 13 CLEVER PUPPY WINS A STAKE | Bill Dugan Defeats Tillie R at Union Park in Deciding Course After Two Trials POCATELLI WITHDRAWN Some Severe Running, but Reaches Semi-Final Round The young greyhound Bill Dugan, ton, surprised the wise bettors yester- After an undecided course with Tiilie R, in which each scored six points, he came back and defeated her for the long end to seven. Tillie R was installed a 1 to 2% choice for the first trial. The betting went quickly to 1 to 6 when the dogs were sent back to slips. In the first trial | the hare broke to Bill Dugan and it| was this favor which helped him make it a tie. In the runoff he showed speed over his opponent. Had she run with any determination she would have won. She was fortunate in having short trials throughout the day. The winner opened in the long odds betting at 100 to 1. This price was cut to 60 in the third round of the stake and then to 5. Champion Pocatelli was unfortunate in having two severe trials which ne- cessitated his being withdrawn -in the semi-final round. The attendance was large and the sport of high class. The | day’s results in detail, with Judge P. J. | Reilly’s official scores, follow: _First round—Racing Auto beat Duhallow, Amandan beat Ploughman, 10-2; Barefoot in Bey. 24-5; Charter Member onccrd Tralee beat Texas EASTERN HOUND [THISTLE TEAM 15 VICLORIOUS| BEATS HORNETS, IN FINE FORM Spotless Beauty Is First in the Big Open Event on the Ingleside Figld BEATS YOUNG FEARLESS Black Coon Looks a Winner, but Falls a Vietim to Hard- est Kind of Coursing Luck PEC S I Spotless Beauty, one of the coursers of J. J. Lavin’s 8t. Louis kennel, took first honors yesterday in the big open stake at Ingleside Coursing Park. The Beauty showed in great form, and it was no trouble for her to get the flag from her opponents. Each trial was of short order, and in the final she romped away from Jerry O'Shea’s Young Fearless. Quite a number of short ends were recorded. The hardest upset of the day was the defeat of Firm Fellow, a 1 to 5 shot, by Terra Cotta. The victor in the next round took honors frem Lily York and afterward succumbed to the runner up. Black Coon was really the slated winner, but fell a victim to coursing luck. Hard running was his lot. In the fifth round he beat Little Mercy in a go that lasted nearly three minutes. In the next round his trainer was forced to withdraw him.

When the teams met at Val- lejo a week ago last night the north- erners defeated the Alhambras by 99 pins. Not only did the men of the home team make up this difference vesterday, but they came out ten pins ahead on the total number of pins. A large crowd, including several of | the fair sex, witnessed yesterday's games and cheered loudly when Jim- mie Healey, captain of the Alhambras, | and Donaldson made some difficult | spares.

But, for some inscrutable reason, our soldiers appear to think their uniform is a badge of shame, or at least of ser- vitude. Any self-respecting officer, so far as I can see, would rather die at the head of a forlorn hope than go to a theater or restaurant or a private ball in full regimentals. A nen-com- misgioned officer who sees a brother warrfor privileged to walk down the street in plain clothes turns sick with envy. No soidier of any rank seems to consider that uniform can enhance his attractions to the female eye, and the only way in which I have ever heard of its being used for this purpose is by the humble, but impecunious, private, who charges a female admirer so much an hour—2 pence is, I believe, the usual fee—for walking out in company with him. ‘What makes this the more strange is that it is entirely peculiar to the Brit- ish army. In every foreign country soldiers—and officers most of all—seem to be extremely proud of their uni- forms, and lose no opportunity of dis- playing themselves therein. The effect of smart military uniforms in brighten- ing up a crowd, whether out of doors or at any evening assemblage, is un- | than one respect. Fearless a bye. Declding course—Spotless Beauty beat Young Fearless, 5-1 —— e | CONTRASTS BETWEEN THE JAPANESE AND RUSSIANS Comparative Facts Concerning the People and Their Resources. Comparisons, or contrasts, between Japan and Russia are striking in more Thus, Japan has about 47,000,000 people and Russia per- haps 130,000,000. Again, Japan's land area is scarcely 163,000 square miles, while Russia’s is nearly $,700,000. So Russia has nearly three times as many pesple and more than fifty times as much land as Japan. might think, Russia might well afford to be a little less land hungry at Ja- pan's expense.) On the other hand, Japan, with her smaller population, has more pupils in her schools than Russia. | According to the latest available statis- tics, Japan has 4,302,623 children in ele- mentary schools and Russia only 4,193,- 594. That is to say, ninety;one in every thousand Japanese and only thirty-two in every thousand Russians are in ele- mentary schools. The disproportion of numbers in secondary schools and uni- versities is equally marked in favor of Japan. Again, Japan has 4832 postoffices, or one for every 9700 people, while Russia has only 6029, or one to every 21,500 people. Japan has, under sail and steam, a commercial marine of 734,413 tons, while Russia has only 633,822 tons, Japan's purchases from the TUnited States amount to about $21,000,000 a year, and Russia’'s to only $17,000,000. Of course, it is argued that Russia is still in an elementary stage of develop- ment. But Russia has been in full and direct intercourse with the civilized world since the time of Peter the Great, 200 years ago, while Japan has been in a similar state scarcely fifty years. That is to say, Japan has made three times the progress Russia has, and in one-fourth the time. In such circum- stances, it is not at all strange that the admiration and sympathy of the world are given to Japan in a great measure.—New York Tribune. e I S P S A Lottery Savings Bank. A most extraordinary proposal has recently had the favorable consider- ation of the Prussian Minister of Fin- ance. The originator is Herr Scherl, the preprietor and publisher of the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger. The plan com- bines a workingmen’s savings bank with an elaborate national lottery. The new institution would collect from the working classes weekly savings ranging from 56 pfennige (12 cents) to four marks ($1). These savings would be entrusted to such existing savings banks as were willing to adopt the new system and to pay for fifty- two weeks' deposits of four marks— that is to say, for 208 matks—an in- terest of 1-80 mark at the close of the vear, with corresponding fixed rates ef interest for smaller deposits. This interest, however, would not go to the depositors, but would be paid into a lottery fund, the administration of which _would hand to the depositors lottery y tickets of corresponding value. Three hundred thousand of these tickets divisible into quarters and } eigh according to the amounts the ts, would form a lm.y geries from which 12,500 prizes would x:ube 100,000 marks, of the second prize 30,000 marks, of the third prize 10,000 marks and so on, winding up 20° marks.

Both games were played on the Pre- sidio Athletic Grounds in this city. The ground was covered with soft, slippery mud and peols of water stood in many places. The players found it hard to keep their feet and were bespattered with mud from head to foot. The ball in the Thistle-Hornet match was kicked off at 1:40 p. m., A. W. Wilding being the referee and the lines- men being Irish and Sheldon. In the first half the Thistles defended the south goal and the Hornets the north. During the first period the Hornets, with only eight men in the field, fell easy victims to the superior team work and numbers of the Thistle eleven, whose forwards played as they liked with the ball, passing it from one to the other with the greatest ease. The Thistles put the ball between the posts five times in the first half. In the sec- ond period ends were changed and Mc- Kenzie strengthened the forward line of the Hornets. “he Thistles added three more goals, making their total score eight goals. Shand, McKenzie and Pomeroy worked hard for the Hornets, but were quite outmatched. Willlam- son kept several hot shots from going between the posts, but they were alto- gether too numerous for one man to save them all. The teams occupied the following positions: Oakland Position. Thistles. Lowe Center forward - Instde right.........Pomeroy Outside right. ......Pomeroy At 3:30 p. m. the Independents and Vamplires went out on the field for the match in the first round for the cup. The Independents proved too strong for the Vampires, who defended the south goal. In the first few minutes T. Fay kicked a goal for the Independents, to which E. Fay and Duncanson added a goal apiece before the end of the first period. Arthur Robinson was the ref- eree, C. W. Irish and A. E. J. Chivers being the linesmen. In the second per- iod McCallum left the forward line and played in the half back line, Harwood moving up to the left wing. Toward the end of the second period McCallum took Petersen’s position in the full back line, Petersen taking a place in the for- ward line. On two or three occasions the Vampires went near scoring, but were nct quite able to do the triek. The Independents peppered the Vam- pires’ goal, but Roife did excellent work and kept all the shots out until in the last ten seconds before the whistle sounded one got past him, mak- ing the winners’ score 4 goals to 0. The teams linéd up in the following Position. Independent: Forbes. Crusade Against Narcotics, At the last session of the Illinois Ceneral Assembly a law was passed prohibiting the sale of cocaine in any form, except on physiclan's prescrip- tion, and the State Board of Pharmacy is now engaged in putting it into effect. At about the same time Georgia, Penn- sylvania and Texas also passed anti- cocaine or anti-narcotic laws, and twelve or fifteen of the States all told have now placed such legislation on their statute books. The campaign against these drugs has been taken up with very great vigor by the American Pharmaceutical Association and will be waged on a national scale. A stringent law has been drafted, which has al- ready been introduced into Congress as part of the general poison bill by Representative Robinson of Ij Substantially the same law will be pre- sented for the consideration of every State Legislature that meets this win- ter. The campaign is to be continued until by both State and national legis- lation the entire country is protected as fully as legislation can protect it against cocaine, morphine and all their ilk. s The movement deserves hearty sup- port and thoroughgoing success. Drug- gists and physicians gemerally are in favor of it, for they know better tiran any other persons, except the victimns themselves, the ravages which these drugs can cause.

Both pavilions were crowded by those who took delight in dancing and merrymaking, while the shooting stand was crowded to its ca- pacity. The light wind and damp at- mosphere made it an ideal day for target shooting. The well-known champion marks- man, August Pape, did consistent work during the day, and as the soft light in the afternoon came on succeeded in making the excellent score of % rings out of a possible 100. F. P. Schuster also made 9 rings, but as Pape had another score of 94 to back up his 9 he was awarded first honors. D. B. Faktor nressed the winners hard with his 94 rings.

BRITT TRAINS FOR VISITORS ‘lhows Method of Condition- ing Himself in Gymnasinm Crowded With Spectators BISHOP'S NEW DEVICE Billy Woods" Manager In- vents a Spray to Refresh His Boxer Between Rounds B Three hundred admirers of Jimmy Britt made their way to the little fight- er's training quarters, at Croll's gardens in Alameda, yesterday after- noon to observe the California boxer go through some of his conditioning stunts. Jimmy did not disappoint his visitors and, for their satisfaction, worked out in the gymnasium for an hour. He wrestled and tugged with Sam Berger until he was covered with perspiration and was ready to say enough. Britt alfo punched the bag and tried his hands at shadow boxing for half an hour, Britt did not do any sparring yester- day, but during the eoming week he intends to keep his boxing mates, Frank Rafael and Fred Landers, actively en- gaged with the gloves. Rafael has not yet put on the mitts with Jimmy, be- cause his hands are still sore from the hammering he inflicted upom Iron Man Charley Sleger. Spider Kelly, the pugilistic wiseacre and ring pilot, is expected to register at Croll's to-day and will immediately assume charge of the Britt forces. He wiil direct all of Jimmy’s preparatory exercise, and on the right of the big battle the knowing | Spider will be the commander in chief of Britt's seconds.
